Question

If a conversion rate of 8 dollars is worth 13 euros, how many euros do you get

when you convert 500 dollars?

Answer 1

Make these fractions and set them equal to each other with dollars on top, euros on bottom

8/13 =500/x

(Cross multiply)

8x= 6,500

(Divide by 8 to isolate the variable)

x= 812.5

(Euros are paper money, not a coin system and they won’t give you more money than what you gave them so you must round down to the nearest whole number which is 812 Euros)

ANSWER:
812 Euros
